Made these this weekend, thought y'all might be interested. This isn't really a for sale thread, but they are. First is a twist, second is a rollerball with black ash. Been working on knives too...
Some pens I made

Travis, super cool. Is the process at all similar to making knives?

Bo, $50 for the top, $115 for the bottom, $60 for one like the one below (it's for my daughter's kindergarten teacher, but I can make more). Can do any color or wood, though wood takes more work and would be a little higher. Price could vary with cost of materials. Hopefully the mods will be ok with this kind of post here. I can post elsewhere if necessary.
Jason, short answer, no. Not at all. BUT, if you can make good knives you can make good pens. There isn't a lot of direct overlap in skills, but if you can do precise handwork and know how to measure, drill, sand, and use calipers, it's really not a big stretch. I just got into this recently, and am very happy with my learning curve.
This is one I did last night in dark red acrylic, and is one of my favorite styles:
